OT: Kadary Richmond to Syracuse

[Magic32]

Is it true that he hasn't visited Syracuse before he gave his verbal commitment?

 

[bendm]

this guy has a serious fear of commitment. pun intended.

 

[Mister P]

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Reminds me of Shake Milton

 

[BackAftaThis]

I don’t recall even seeing him on their campus. This is happening extremely fast.

What a strange recruitment.

He gets down to his final 4. Trending our way then reopens the recruitment to speak with other coaches. Then cuse offers him and he jumps on it?

I don’t get it.

Then he jumps off it- weirder

Him not having experienced that place would certainly help explain his willingness to commit.

Perhaps someone sent him pictures of what it looks like most of the year which are now causing him to reconsider.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

The Syracuse board says that he wants to commit but Boeheim isn't ready to take it yet. Which is what it is, I'm sure.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Yup, Cuse is saving that scholly for Isaiah Jackson...

GMac: Hey Coach, ya know that top 100 combo guard we’ve been talking to? Kadary Richmond? He wants to commit.

JB: Hold up, I used that spot on my nephew.

All in the family: Jim Boeheim’s nephew joins Syracuse basketball team

I was told Syracuse and Buffalo are like the gold coast now.

 

[businesslawyer]

Or he wanted to announce it

Uh -- he did announce it. I get that you mean he can do it over the internet with a table of caps in front of him, but exactly who is going to watch after he announces it publicly?

 

[BackAftaThis]

So out of all the schools recruiting him he commits before visiting Cuse only to be told by Cuse no then he had to decommit.

What a strange mentality this kid has.

Thanks for clarifying. I didn’t realize he himself announced it.

 

[formerlurker]

Am I the only 49yo, single guy on here who totally relates to this kid's fear of commitment?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Uh -- he did announce it. I get that you mean he can do it over the internet with a table of caps in front of him, but exactly who is going to watch after he announces it publicly?

He can tweet a different school next, then decommit.
And keep doing that until he says, "This one's for real."
It would be like trying on a hat, taking it off, trying another, messing with the crowd.

Genius

For the record, I was being sarcastic. I suppose it's possible that Syracuse turned down this kid, but it seems unlikely.

 

[Burnsbros23]

Him and Jackson are such different players.

Give the kid a break - it’s a lot for an 18 year old to deal with.

 

[Chief00]

They filled their 13 ships, so they need an addition by subtraction first.

I think he's afraid to not be invited to the proverbial dance. Someone needs to tell him he is the one with the options & a lot of programs would be glad to land him.
If we get Cardwell to commit I would take this kid with our last scollie

 

[Com'rGordon]

I'd like to go get Kadary now that Cam is out of the picture

Just looked at the S thread on Richmond. Here's their answer:
"Pretty much every national champion has a few early departures. Take that for what it's worth. "

Also: "My understanding is we don't worry about scholarship availability. How that works, no clue. But we don't need to worry about it. "

I know guys leave regardless of record but in the recruiting trench warfare you use it if you are an opposing school. It’s a nasty recruiting World out there - plenty of material for hostile workplace suits LOL.
